Is PSN under attack? - PSN now back up 15/05

PSN is what we are talking about not PS3, PSN was launched many many years ago and this is the first time it has been down, it has always been free.

PSN, in 2011, is inferior to Xbox Live as it is, they both do the same thing on the whole but Live does it better, it's not even just Live, it's the overall achievement system, friends list, invites and voice chat options that make it superior. A few games don't even work very well on PSN and work much better on Xbox Live. Street Fighter IV, Super Street Fighter IV and MvC3 are all far better on 360 when it comes to finding matches and general connection stability. These are just the ones I know of, I hear Black Ops is atrocious.

Now then, to even compare Xbox Live to the PS2 era of 'PSN' (it was hardly PSN, just online play for CERTAIN games, not a unified system) is absolutely ridiculous. Xbox Live put the PS2 online play to shame, it was totally outclassed.

If you argue otherwise you never had both it seems. You just come across like a massive fanboy trying to defend this PSN debacle because you're too tight to spring £32 a year or even think of doing such a thing.

PSN is a fine service, it is not a premium service and it shows. If all you care about is the online play then it's more than suitable.

Rant over. You don't have a valid argument. Give up.

Edit: and inb4 fanboy comments: I don't even play my 360 much anymore, the PS3 has a far superior line up of games - this year especially, but I will not back down about the 360 having the superior online experience. One of the best things is cross game chat, it's enjoyable to just play a game while talking to a bunch of friends. Depending on the game though, I don't want to do that while on a heavily story based game. The fact PS3 still doesn't have it is laughable and makes me wish Sony were an American company, I bet it would then.

And yet you still fail to explain your reasoning. The analogy fits.

But we'll leave it there, as I dont really fancy having another headbutting session with you. Always seems to be the case when we cross paths on here.

so you associate a long dress and underwear as protection? no girls are ever raped unless they wear short skirts and no underwear?

As I said worst analogy ever but yeah leave it there as I can't be bothered :D

Agree It's nothing like that :rolleyes:

It's more like sticking up for a friend thats getting beaten up!

If Sony hadn't sued GeoHot and Fail 0verflow for doing NOTHING WRONG then this wouldn't have happened!
But hey if your one of those people that can't stick up for yourself let alone a friend then I feel very sorry for you!

You seem to fail at humour. :)

The analogy was obviously an extreme, as analogies generally are.

Also, the other comments from Crazy, You're aware these hacks over documents are separate to Geo right? The inital slow down performed by 4chan were in response to his law suit. These new document thefts are nothing more than opportunist hackers/crackers/rapists whatever you want to call them

Or maybe anon is ****ting themselves now because they've ****ed off 77 million people around the world and now trying to deny what they did. I was in full support of anon and what they stood for, now I'm not so sure. The fact is they were at least "partly" responsible due to the DOS attack. Now I'm in danger of someone stealing my Identity, which is a great concern to me.
 
Has Sony even sold 77 million consoles? Last I seen was about 50m so off course this 77 million users is just many many duplicate accounts ;)

I think thats the grey area with regards to culpability from a lot of parties involved - I dont think naivety is a sentiment you can use here...

In all, yes i lay part of the blame on Sony's door but Anon and the hackers need to get a big chunk of it as well, the best thing to happen in my eyes for people in Anon to find the hackers and turn them in.

dude what? :eek:

anywho, regards all this anon stuff, they didn't do it. Not to say the person or persons involved aren't or weren't members of the "anonymous" community but anonymous themselves never had any involvement.

Jesus youve got a chip on your shoulder - its obvious they would have done a risk assessment of their network and decided that the chance of the exploit compromising their whole network was low enough not to cost against.

Whoever made that decision, in hindsight, wasnt right - but that doesnt make the whole corporation arrogant.

Lay off the hemp underwear - seems to irritate :p

uh dude no.
they were using a long outdated version of Apache, with known vulnerabilities, would probably have been FREE to update with brief downtime during the process and would not have cost anything in labour being part of someone's job.
You don't do a "risk assessment" of data security, if you know you've got a gaping hole you plug it, it's the law. why didn't Sony do this? they're arrogant, if someone warns them they have a vulnerability they get offended, surly and lazy, this is what happens in the real world for some reason.
I have raised many website errors with many large corporations, for grammar, spelling, broken links, etc. and 95% of the time they flat-out ignore me.
One big company I won't name but let's just say they're global, the group had over $2bn profit last year, sent one small grammar correction in and they fixed it next day, a week or so later I sent in a larger correction, necessitating code review and they ignored it, a month later it's still broken.
Had a similar experience with a small web design firm, they fixed the easy mistake and ignored the rest.
